The backout caused one reject in Documentation/kernel-parameters but otherwise backed out easily. It's not super-clear why it fails to build. If you want me to try another patch, make sure I'm cc'd and I'll give it a spin. -- Mel Gorman Part-time Phd Student Linux Technology Center University of Limerick IBM Dublin Software Lab
